Preparation of nitrocellulose microspheres based on low-cost high-throughput microfluidic technology
Nitrocellulose microspheres have garnered extensive use in propellants and launching agents due to their inherent safety, robust flowability, and high explosive power. However, conventional preparation methods for these microspheres are often hampered by complex processes, low safety factor and poor sphericity. This study explores an innovative approach to nitrocellulose microsphere fabrication utilizing microfluidic technology. We designed and assembled two high-throughput preparation devices—a coaxial and a centrifugal device—employing 3D printing technology. Our findings demonstrate an 18-fold increase in efficiency over traditional single-pass microfluidic techniques. Additionally, we examined the impact of these devices on the microspheres’ size distribution. The proposed device showcases significant advantages, including reduced cost, enhanced efficiency, and shorter production cycles, indicating promising potential for wide-scale application in nitrocellulose microsphere preparation.
期刊介绍:
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish papers in all aspects of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip science and technology. The objectives of the journal are to (1) provide an overview of the current state of the research and development in microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices, (2) improve the fundamental understanding of microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena, and (3) discuss applications of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices. Topics covered in this journal include:
1.000 Fundamental principles of micro- and nanoscale phenomena like,
flow, mass transport and reactions
3.000 Theoretical models and numerical simulation with experimental and/or analytical proof
4.000 Novel measurement & characterization technologies
5.000 Devices (actuators and sensors)
6.000 New unit-operations for dedicated microfluidic platforms
7.000 Lab-on-a-Chip applications
8.000 Microfabrication technologies and materials
Please note, Microfluidics and Nanofluidics does not publish manuscripts studying pure microscale heat transfer since there are many journals that cover this field of research (Journal of Heat Transfer, Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, etc.).
